Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project Action, released the following statement:
“Congratulations to lawmakers in Kansas, Missouri, and Montana for quickly introducing legislation to ban corrosive foreign funding of ballot measure campaigns. For years, the liberal dark money group Sixteen Thirty Fund has taken advantage of a loophole that allows foreign-tied money to be poured into ballot issue campaigns, courtesy of progressive Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss. It is critical to protect American elections from foreign influence by closing this loophole, and it is encouraging to see states make this a priority in the new legislative term.”
